Chapter 146. Fame Spreads Far and Wide.
In the post-war period, after the smoke of battle had cleared, the heroic deeds of Jun Luochuan and Su Yao spread like wildfire throughout the cultivation world. Their outstanding performance in that thrilling battle shone like brilliant stars in the vast night sky of the cultivation world, becoming an immortal legend that people talked about endlessly and with great relish.
In a bustling, vibrant immortal city, the streets and alleys were filled with heated discussions about them. "Jun Luochuan and Su Yao, they are truly two rising stars in the cultivation world! Their strength is like a surging ocean, unfathomable; their courage is like a towering mountain peak, indestructible, inspiring heartfelt admiration!" A young cultivator, his eyes filled with adoration like twinkling stars in the night sky, exclaimed excitedly, his voice brimming with reverence for heroes.
"Indeed, I heard that when they faced that ferocious enemy, they showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, they were like brave warriors, charging forward without hesitation. In the end, they achieved a glorious victory thanks to their unwavering will and extraordinary strength." The old man beside him stroked his snow-white beard, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration, as if he were appreciating two rare treasures.
At this moment, Jun Luochuan and Su Yao were strolling leisurely along the bustling streets of the Immortal City. Su Yao's beautiful face radiated a bright and proud smile, as radiant as the sun. "Jun Luochuan, look! Everyone is praising us so highly! It's as if we're immortals descended from heaven, haha!"
Jun Luochuan tilted his head slightly and said with an arrogant expression, "What's so surprising about this? It's just a matter of our strength, nothing to be ashamed of." Beneath his seemingly nonchalant expression, a ripple of pride was actually spreading across his calm lake.
As their fame spread like wildfire, growing ever stronger and more resounding, invitations of all kinds poured in like snowflakes. Some sects, filled with boundless enthusiasm, eagerly hoped they would come to exchange their insights on cultivation, as if sharing a rare treasure; while other families racked their brains, trying every means to win them over as close allies, as if they were auspicious creatures that could bring endless glory and power.
At a grand gathering of cultivators, Jun Luochuan and Su Yao's graceful figures appeared as soon as they did, causing a huge stir and a sensation, like a boulder thrown into a lake. People swarmed around them like a tide, their eager eyes like those of hungry wolves eyeing their prey, all impatient to befriend them.
"Young Master Jun, Miss Su, I have long admired your names. It is truly an honor to meet you today, like stepping into a dream. I am so fortunate!" A handsome and refined young man said respectfully, cupping his hands in greeting. His face was full of ingratiating smiles, which were as bright as blooming flowers, yet somewhat deliberate.
Su Yao responded with a cheerful smile, her voice as clear and melodious as a silver bell: "Young master, you flatter us! We were just doing what we were supposed to do."
Jun Luochuan remained aloof, merely nodding slightly, like an iceberg radiating an unapproachable chill.
However, fame is a double-edged sword. While it brings glory and opportunities, it also inevitably brings some troubles. Some narrow-minded and jealous people, like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, begin to spread malicious rumors behind their backs, trying to tarnish their dazzling image.
"Hmph, Jun Luochuan and Su Yao are just lucky, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. What real skills could they possibly have?" Such malicious remarks began to spread quietly in some shady corners, like a plague, trying to erode their reputation.
But Jun Luochuan and Su Yao were not troubled or defeated by these despicable rumors. They remained steadfast on their path of cultivation, their steps firm and unshakable like Mount Tai. They proved their strength through their actions and heroic deeds time and time again, dispelling the rumors themselves.
When faced with a provocation with ulterior motives, Jun Luochuan's icy gaze seemed to freeze the other party instantly. He coldly said, "You think you can use such despicable means to attack us? You are too naive and overestimating yourselves! You are as ridiculous as clowns."
Su Yao was equally defiant. She put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows, and looked like an angry little lion: "If you're so capable, then let's have a fair and square competition. Don't resort to these underhanded tricks behind my back, which only make people despise you!"
Their steadfastness is like steel, their courage like a raging fire, earning them the utmost respect from many. Their reputation has not been harmed in the slightest by those malicious rumors; on the contrary, like gold refined by fire, it has become even more deeply ingrained in people's hearts, shining even brighter.
As time slowly passed, like a gentle stream, the names of Jun Luochuan and Su Yao became a high-flying, inspiring banner in the cultivation world, encouraging countless cultivators to cherish their dreams, forge ahead bravely, and fearlessly...
